The Thornburgs Are Gross

You know how your mom teaches you to clean to prepare you for life and then you forget all of it until something life shattering happens to shock you back into your old cleaning habits??
You don't? You actually clean your house?

Well the Thornburgs don't. 
We started cleaning and moving furniture around so that we can put down our wood floors.  We moved our couch for the first time since we moved here a YEAR ago.  Guess what we found? You'll never guess. 
DOG HAIR!!!

This is seriously just sick.  We haven't moved the couch since we moved in.  Disgusting. 

We also found some chex mix and a popsicle stick under the couch.  Nasty. 

But we got everything out of our living room (except for Brian).  Look how disgusting that carpet is!!! We would like to believe that's all from the former owners.  Most of it is, at least. 

The dining room is cleared out now too.  No more Bree Van de Kamp style table settings. :(

Our office is also cleaned out except for the 300 pound bookshelf.  We're going to need a little help with that.

So you may be wondering where we put all our stuff. 

Here is our new office in the guest bedroom. Andrew can still get his work done in here even with extra furniture. 

This is what you see when you walk up the stairs...

A hallway is always good for storage. 

The china cabinet is now in the game room blocking the back door we never use. 

And now we have an extra ottoman in the game room.

So now we have to clean with new wood floors because the dust, dog hair, and dirt will be much more visible.  Uh oh. 

But it will look soooooo soooooo SOOOO much better, it's not even funny.  We will WANT to clean, all the time!

This is what we picked out.  It will look amazing. I can't wait. I also can't wait to be able to get into my guest bathroom again someday without having to move a couch. 

This is what Brian thinks of the whole ordeal.

What a face!!
